With tonight's post I'd like to highlight on the german music scene of the early 80's. Many bands thought it would be cool to sing in german and jump on the "Neue Deutsche Welle" train. But few bands kept true to themselves and kept playing decent rocking music. One of them was Straight Shooter, heading from Düsseldorf. They played a very unique style of 70's influenced hard rock with a slight disco touch.
Although the B-Side of this 12" was a very big hit for them in 1980 and gained them a huge following. But nevertheless, by 1984 and some albums afterwards, Straight Shooter called it a day. I hope you'll enjoy these songs as much as I do. I'm going to put up their other albums in the future, so stay tuned.

10. Jacoby & Schorsch - Es war so scheen...
Nothing much to say about this record except that there are two tracks from Lancelot on it. The band won the "Saar Rocky" (a regional band contest that existed from 1980-1996 in south western germany) in the category Rock and had the chance to put two songs on this sampler. You won't find these songs anywhere than on this sampler, I promise.
